Mumbai, India (3 June, 2026) : e-Transport Mission Mode Project (e Transport MMP), led by the
Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and implemented by the National
Informatics Centre (NIC), has transformed transport administration in India by
automating RTO operations nationwide. The initiative has enabled a consolidated
national transport database with real-time access to vehicle and transport
information, while powering the launch of a host of citizen-centric and
trade-centric applications, contributing greatly towards the country’s
e-Governance initiative under the Digital India Programme.
SAS, a global leader in data & AI, is
set to enhance India’s Vehicle Administration and Handling Application Network
(VAHAN), by helping enhance the platform’s efficiency, reliability and service
delivery through advanced analytics and AI.
The project will focus on strengthening
anomaly detection, data management, harmonization and quality across VAHAN’s
large and diverse datasets. By enabling a unified view of vehicle and transport
related data, the initiative aims to support faster decision-making, improve
regulatory oversight and ultimately enhance the citizen experience on the
portal.
As part of the engagement, SAS will help
enable the identification and prioritization of high impact issues through
Vehicle Registration & Lifecycle Analytics and Enforcement Analytics. With
data-driven insights, the solution seeks to help transport authorities better
understand trends, proactively identify risks, and design more responsive and
transparent services for citizens.
Noshin Kagalwalla, Vice President –
Public Sector, APAC & Managing Director, SAS India, said, “Key platforms
like VAHAN play a vital role in enabling efficient, transparent and
citizen-centric services. By helping unify and analyze data across multiple
touchpoints, this partnership can support better planning and stronger
governance with trusted actionable insights.”
SAS with Vahan for MoRTH/NIC aims to build
a scalable analytics foundation that supports the evolving needs of transport
administration, while enabling evidence-based policymaking and improved service
outcomes at a national level.
